A photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne, speaking into a handheld microphone with a broad smile. He has long dreadlocked hair wrapped under a rust-orange turban with a silver emblem and silver cord ornaments, and wears a sleeveless rust-orange robe with gold border, a red wrist thread, and a red cloth draped over his lap. A silver-topped walking staff rests beside him and a white cup sits on a tray at his feet. Behind him a large audience sits in blurred rows in mostly white, yellow and orange clothing. Swamiji (probable): the orange robe, turban and long dreadlocks are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji speaking at this event.
